THANK YOU!!

This DTC mini course has been extracted from our upcoming 'DTC Complete Baking System' online course which will include 12+ DTC cake recipes.
What you'll learn in this mini course:
- The complete DTC standardised cake sizing system and how to create your own system to suit your kitchen and needs. Maximum efficiency guaranteed
- The complete DTC cake cutting guide for round and square cakes from 4 inches to 12 inches
- DTC serving number charts for single, skyscraper, two/three/four tiers cakes for both round and square.
The DTC Approach
As with all DTC methods, efficiency is key and how we manage our serving options is no different. There is simply no time to waste doing something you don’t need to. The guides contained in this course are invaluable however, remember that at the end of the day, you have to do what makes sense to YOU so take the whole DTC system and implement it or use it as a guide to develop your own. The choice is yours.
If you have any questions along the way, please use the comment sections pithing the course to ask away.
We're sure this course can help you simplify your processes and in turn, your life.
